Lyrics:
Verse 1
Let me introduce a topic and recover forgotten facts
that lots of cats have passed on while they're loving the hottest fads
and it's a shame cos I can name old heads with ancient wisdom
patient living, grace, forgiveness, things that make a grateful witness
they confessed what they believed and wrote it in Q & A form
addressing brothers who received the only true and great Lord
it's called a catechism, it's a useful teaching method
not just for catholic bishops, but for you to seek the heavens
It was written so you wouldn't walk away like a ball four
or commit some doctrinal fouls up on your ball court
the spitting witnesses that I summoned and called forth
include the lamp mates shai and Tim Brindle, lyrical stalwarts
Evangel and Zae Da Black will slay the track I pray in fact
you play it back and get liver than you'd expect, you can test
the catechism's true intent is pure and truly blessed
welcome to the album, put your feet up, cos you my guest
Hook:
We need to go back
We should recover some habits of old
from brothers who passed on this road.
We need to go back
Standing tall on their shoulders,
We honor the ones that are older.
We need to go back
We're from a proud heritage
that's larger than where we live.
We need to go back
We've got fathers in the faith
we acknowledge them in this race.
Verse 2
Let me the address the who, the when the what the where
and get it out in the air all up in the public square
Here's the Who: there was a group of theologians and pastors
who seeking after reaching the masses while teaching with Jesus' passion
When: in the 1640s they congregated
and contemplated topics that are oft debated / they forming a doctrine statement
they called that document the Westminster Confession of faith
split into questions of lessons addressing your fate
guess that was the what the Where's the island of Great Britain
the truth has traveled great distance in helping your faith and mission
before I move on let me neutralize a nuke bomb
if there's a dude that strong from Deuteronomy or Luke one
he's not lukewarm, I don't care about his human suit y'all
could be white like a cue ball or dark as night and a Q-dog
there's no excuse to choose to refuse him or boo him
if he's schooling you in the use of your tools for the ruler Yeshua
Verse 3
Have you ever struggled summarizing what is a Christian thinks?
Catechism does it well and tosses in the kitchen sink.
The format of this teaching tool is great for family worship time
cos passing on a legacy of strong faith is worth it, right?
Let's not be arrogant, ignoring the glories we have inherited
Let's cherish this incomparable heritage
from African Bishops whose passion is actively with us
to pastors with wisdom that's catching flack in a prison
we have a past that is packed to capacity, so criticism
of these facts is a tragedy, that is lacking in vision
the audacity to laugh at the past, thinking it's old school
is actually a habit that's whack don't be so bold fool
I hear my kids say "daddy, I'm glad I'm a Christian"
attracting their vision instead of always battling with them
I pass on convictions that they will then engraft in their mission
and that's the facts of why I'm actually rapping bout catechism
